WTB: TJ rear axle w/ 4.10 or 4.56s

[simpleman01]

My high school age nephew's '06 TJ 6 speed daily driver currently has Dana 35 rear w/ 4.88s. The pinion nut came loose causing some gear damage. Quick repair, pattern is screwed up, and now the gear oil is full of metal again which wiped out the wheel bearings.

Hoping someone has a spare axle sitting around ready-to-go and bolt-in. Prefer upgrading to 8.8 or D44 but another 35 will work (he doesn't beat on it, mild shenanigans only). Strongly prefer a factory or @Jody Treadway installed 4.10 or 4.56 gearset since he's only running 33" tires. Best case scenario is sweet deal to include matching front axle too haha.

Trying to get him back on the road asap with something reliable. The closer to Raleigh area the better. Thanks!!

A pair of Rubicon axles would be perfect, 4.10, factory setup, limited slip in the rear, locker on both ends, and will bolt in. But they are gonna be around $4k also.

I honestly feel like Rubicon axles are a gamble at this point. Usually unknown miles and 20 years of locker abuse.

You’re not wrong, but most factory gears still look good at 200-300k so as long as the rest of its fine, it’s a bolt in for his needs.

@StretchASU used to have a 4.56 d35 way back when, if he didn't scrap it by now.

I have a rear DANA 44, that would be just right for @Jody Treadway to rebuild with some new gears and bolt into your Jeep.

I appreciate the replies everyone! Just picked up a set of TJ axles (30/35) with factory 4.10s out of VA Beach. Swapping out the rear this weekend. Just in time, the rear's pinion seal went bad again and its puking oil everywhere haha.
